RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERA- TION How to Transmit After the power is turned on and the magnetron has [STBY TX] button warmed*, "STBY" appears at the screen center, meaning the radar is ready to transmit radar pulses. You can transmit by pushing the STBY TX key on the Control Unit, or clicking the [STBY TX] button on the Status bar.
Page 70: Manual Tuning
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Manual tuning To tune the radar, start by setting the brilliance to a comfortable level, adjusting the gain until the background speckle just disappears, and selecting the 48 NM range. Then, do the following: 1. Select a weak contact somewhere near the edge of the screen and concentrate on that, while adjusting the gain control in small steps - allowing at least two sec- onds between each step - until the chosen contact is as big, bright and consistent as possible.
Page 71: How To Change The Pulse Length
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.3.2 How to change the pulse length 1. Click the [Pulse] button at the top of the InstantAccess bar™. 2. Click a pulse length. How to Adjust the Sensitivity The GAIN control (or [Gain] button) adjusts the sensitivity of the receiver. The proper setting is such that the background noise is just visible on the screen.
Page 72: How To Reduce Sea Clutter Automatically
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.5.1 How to reduce sea clutter automatically Auto A/C SEA allows for fine-tuning of the A/C SEA circuit, within ±20 dB. Lower the auto A/C SEA level because the average value of the original input echo is low in ar- eas where there are no see surface reflections.
Page 73: How To Suppress Rain Clutter
2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.5.3 How to use the BERTHING STC function The [BERTHING STC] function allows you to show the main bang echo, even with the range set at 0.5 NM or less with AUTO SEA at maximum setting. This is particularly useful when attempting to berth, as it gives a clearer view of the berthing area and your ship’s location.

There are three levels of echo stretch, 1, 2 and 3. The higher the number the greater the amount of stretching. The echo stretch magnifies not only small target pips but also returns from the sea sur- face, rain and radar interference.

2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION 2.44 Radar Observation 2.44.1 General Minimum range The minimum range is defined by the shortest distance at which, using a scale of 1.5 or 0.75 NM, a target having an echoing area of 10 m is still shown separate from the point representing the antenna position.
Page 140: False Echoes
Practically, a 0.08 microsecond pulse offers the discrimination better than 40 m as do so with all FURUNO radars. Test targets for determining the range and bearing resolution are radar reflectors having an echoing area of 10 m band) or 1 m (S-band).
Page 141 2. RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION Sidelobe echoes Every time the radar pulse is transmitted, some radiation escapes on each side of the beam, called "sidelobes." If a target exists where it can be detected by the side lobes as well as the main lobe, the side echoes may be represented on both sides of the true echo at the same range.

Page 145: Target Tracking (Tt)
TARGET TRACKING (TT) About TT The TT tracks and plots the movement of up to 200 radar targets and fully complies with IMO standards for TT. The TT automatically tracks an automatically or manually acquired radar target and calculates its course and speed, indicating them with a vector. Since the data gener- ated by the TT depends on the radar targets selected, the radar must be optimally tuned for use with the TT, to ensure required targets will not be lost or unnecessary targets like sea returns and noise will not be acquired and tracked.
Page 146: How To Input Your Ship's Speed
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) How to Input Your Ship's Speed The TT requires own ship's speed and heading data. The speed can be STW, SOG, or echo-referenced speed (based on 3 max. stationary objects) taken from this radar. Manual input is also possible. For automatic or manual speed input, see section 1.16.

3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) • When all tracked targets are deleted, the reference target mark is also deleted and the target-based speed becomes invalid. • Loss of reference target will affect the calculation of true speed and true course of targets.

Page 173: Criteria For Selecting Targets For Tracking
3.18 Criteria for Selecting Targets for Tracking The FURUNO TT video processor detects targets in midst of noise and discriminates radar echoes on the basis of their size. Target whose echo measurements are greater than those of the largest ship in range or tangential extent are usually land and are displayed only as normal radar video.
Page 174: Factors Affecting Target Tracking
CPA and TCPA of the tracked targets change. Qualitative description of tracking error The FURUNO TT's accuracy complies with or exceeds IMO standards. Own ship maneuvers For slow turns there is no effect. For very high turning rates (greater than 150°/minute, depending on gyro), then all tracked targets revert to full accuracy.
Page 175: Blind And Shadow Sectors
3. TARGET TRACKING (TT) Low gain Insufficient or low radar receiver gain will result in some targets not being acquired at long distance. The TT display will be missing on one or more targets that could only be visible if the radar sensitivity control (GAIN control) were increased. The setting of the correct radar receiver gain is not critical but the target should be on the radar PPI and be clearly visible and well defined.

13. USER CHARTS 13.1 Introduction User charts are overlays that the user creates to indicate safety-related objects and areas. They can be displayed on both the radar display and the electronic chart. These charts are intended for pointing out safety-related items like position of important nav- igation marks, safe area for the ship, etc.

20. ALERTS 20.1 What is an Alert? “Alert” is a generic name for a notice to any unusual or potentially dangerous situation generated within the system. Alerts are classified according to priority and category. Alert priority There are four alert priorities: emergency*, alarm, warning and caution. * Generated when this radar is connected to an AMS.
Page 438: Alert Box
20. ALERTS 20.2 Alert Box When an alert is generated, the related alert message and alert state icon appear in the [Alert] box, which is at the bottom right corner on the screen. An audible alarm is additionally generated for alarms and warnings. In addition to the alert message and alert state icon, the [Alert] box has the buzzer stop button and provides access to the [Alert List] and [Alert Log].
